Hi @MagicBY It seems that there is at least one conflicting RTDE input subscription between the ROS driver and the Robotiq Copilot URCap. Only one RTDE connection can control an input register at a time. You can see which RTDE input subscriptions the ROS driver depending on here: https://github.com/UniversalRobots/Universal_Robots_ROS_Driver/blob/master/ur_robot_driver/resources/rtde_input_recipe.txt
The same will be the case if you have enabled Ethernet/IP or Profinet fieldbus feature.
Hope this help
Hi @urrsk, Thanks for your reply. I couldn't find a way to diagnose this RTDE confliction both on my pc and ur3 robot teaching pendant. I reinstalled the ubuntu system and ROS. Now I still came across with the issue of connection between pc and robot. Here is a more detailed error message.
From my pc command window, it seems mostly fine. boyu@boyu:~/catkin_ws$ roslaunch ur_robot_driver ur3_bringup.launch robot_ip:=192.168.1.10 kinematics_config:=/home/boyu/catkin_ws/src/UR3_resources/ur3_calibration_lab.yaml ... logging to /home/boyu/.ros/log/986a2046-b541-11ee-a103-1d9f8af5ffd7/roslaunch-boyu-20898.log Checking log directory for disk usage.

However, when I run the remoteROScontrol.urcap file on the teaching pendant, after I press the play button, here is the error message. Please see the "play.jpg". If I press the fast forward key, the error message is shown in the "fast_forward_key.jpg".
I checked every files relate to the ur3_bringup.launch, but couldn't find the "tool_contact" variables. I am looking for advice on how to diagnose this problem and how to solve them. Thanks a lot.
Kind regards, Boyu

Failed to connect the pc and the CB3 robot via external control urcap
Current status
Hi, I am connecting the pc and CB3 robot using a WAN cable. The robot's IP address is set as [192.168.1.10]. And I could ping the robot from the pc, the response is as follows.

Setup
On the robot side, it installed three URCaps file: External control; Robotiq_Copilot; Robotiq_Grippers.
On my pc side, I am using Ubuntu 20.04 ROS Noetic.

Then I start the remoteROScontrol.urcap program from the teaching pandent. Here is the error:
Error message
"robotiq copilot: RTDE interface cannot initialize. Make sure that Ethernet/IP adapter and profinet are disabled, and that no other URCaps use the RTDE interface." And I cannot skip this problem therefore the external control is not established.
How may I solve this problem? Your advice is greatly appreciated.
